Where did Sir Francis Drake get gold from?

Sir Francis Drake acquired gold primarily during his circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580. He captured Spanish treasure ships and plundered ports in the Americas, particularly in present-day Peru and the Caribbean, which were rich in gold and silver. His most famous raid occurred in 1579 when he seized a significant amount of treasure from the Spanish at Nombre de DiOS in Panama, contributing to his reputation as a privateer and explorer.
